As the natural aging process occurs, men experience facial sagging and volume loss, which can sometimes cause them to feel self-conscious in their own skin. Dermal facial fillers with a natural hyaluronic acid substance hydrate and add volume to the skin to achieve a youthful appearance. At the Institute of Anti-Aging Medicine and Skin Spa, we offer Restylane® and the JUVÉDERM® Collection of fillers for men.

Ideal Candidates
Candidates for facial fillers are men who experience sagging skin and volume loss in the face. These facial fillers can correct more pronounced lines and wrinkles in the nasolabial folds, cheeks, lips, under eyes, and more. Scheduling a consultation with the Institute of Anti-Aging Medicine and Skin Spa will help you determine whether you are a true candidate for facial fillers.
How It Works
The facial fillers offered at the Institute of Anti-Aging Medicine and Skin Spa consist of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a natural substance in the skin that delivers nutrients, helps the skin retain moisture and softness, and adds volume to the areas being treated. Facial fillers are made from a modified form of HA and are injected into the predetermined areas of the face.
Treatment typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. The facial fillers for men offered at the Institute of Anti-Aging Medicine and Skin Spa are:
- Restylane®: Restylane® is a hyaluronic acid gel that is long lasting and is designed for more pronounced facial folds and wrinkles such as those on the sides of the mouth and cheeks.

Recovery and Results
Patients may feel a mild tenderness in the treatment area. Some men may also experience swelling, but these side effects should dissipate within two to three days. Normal activities may be resumed immediately following treatment, as there is no downtime associated with facial fillers. Results can be seen almost immediately, and for continued results, it is recommended that facial fillers are maintained over the years to show off your youthful appearance.
